Terms and Conditions for Research Grants

The Lundbeck Foundation's Terms and Conditions for Research Grants

As a grant holder, you must comply with the Foundation's General Terms and Conditions for Research Grants in force from time to time. There may be special guidelines for specific grants. If so, these will be sent to you.

The Lundbeck Foundation expects researchers who receive funding to conduct their research according to recognised codes of good research practice, including the Danish Ministry of Higher Education and Science’s Code of Conduct for Research Integrity, the Medical Research Council’s Good Research Practice and the International Society for Pharmacoepidemiology's Guidelines for Good Pharmacoepidemiology Practices. This also applies to interaction with other researchers, collection, generation and analysis of data, applications for research funding, publication of research results and recognition of direct and indirect contributions by colleagues, partners and others.

It is a prerequisite that researchers who receive funding from the Lundbeck Foundation are affiliated with institutions that have their own published codes and guidelines for good research practice, and that the grant holder complies with such guidelines.

Moreover, it is a prerequisite that these institutions have formally described procedures, which must be adhered to when handling any suspicion of scientific dishonesty. To be eligible to receive a grant from the Lundbeck Foundation, the grant holder and the host institution, as well as researchers, other persons or third parties affiliated with the research project, must also comply with all laws and rules relevant to the research project.
